파이로그린공정의 염폐기물처리과정에서 발생되는 주요 산화물 형태의 폐기물에는 희토류폐기물이 있으며 주요 구성 핵종은 Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd 등 8종이다. 최종적인 희토류폐기물의 형태는 산화물 형태로 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 붕규산 유리계 내에서 희토류 산화물의 유리화 타당성을 평가 하기 위하여 6종의 유리조성을 개발하였다. 희토류 8핵종 혼합에 대한 solubility는 $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 25wt% 미만, $1,300^{\circ}C$에서 30wt% 미만 waste loading으로 온도 상승에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 liquidus temperature는 균질한 유리가 형성된 20wt% waste loading에서 $950^{\circ}C$ 이하로 평가되었다. 희토류 산화물의 유리매질 내 solubility 이상에서는 희토류-oxide-silicate 결정이 생성된 유리세라믹을 이차상으로 형성하였으며 20~25wt% waste loading의 표면균질성이 양호한 유리는 용융온도 $1,200{\sim}1,300^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 점도 100 poise 이하, 전기전도도 1 S/cm 이상으로 유도가열식 저온용융로설비에서의 운전 용이성이 매우 양호한 것으로 평가되었다. 개발된 유리조성에 대한 기타 물리 화학적 특성 평가를 위한 실험들이 향후 수행될 예정이다.

In this study, we have investigated new plasma resistant materials with less usage of rare-earth oxides than $Y_2O_3$ which is currently used in the semiconductor industry. We observed the stability ranges of $(Gd{\cdot}Y)_3Al_5O_{12}$ and $(La{\cdot}Y)Al_{11}O_{18}$ ternary systems, and measured their etch rates under typical fluorine plasma. $(Gd{\cdot}Y)_3Al_5O_{12}$ system showed an extensive solid solution up to 80 mol% gadolinium, but $(La{\cdot}Y)Al_{11}O_{18}$ showed a negligible substitution between rare-earth ions, which can be explained by the differences between the ionic radii. The etch rates depended on the total amount of rare-earth oxides but not on the substitution of the rare-earth ions. When the specimen was examined using XPS after the exposure to fluorine plasma, the strong surface fluorination was observed with a shift of the binding energy to higher energy.

Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT) and its rare earth (Y, Nd, Sm, Gd)-substituted derivatives were synthesized using a sol-gel method to investigate their microstructures, cystal structures and electrical properties depending on the subsituted elemetns. Nd- or Sm-substitution into BIT appeared to be favorable, while Y- or Gd-substitution occurred with a pyrochlore phase. This suggests that a smaller trivalent rare earth ion may not be favorable in the structure of BIT. The rare earth derivatives showed that their particle sizes and shapes were considerably different depending on the kinds of substituted elements. Y-substitution resulted in developing a relatively even particle size and a dense microstructure. In structure, they may be similar to the pseudo-orthorhombic BIT but close to a paraelectric tetragonal phase. Their a (or b) axes were shortened, compared to the one of BIT. Such a distortion may result a decrease in the tilting of TiO6. BIT and the derivatives showed that their dielectric constants and losses were 40~120 and less than 0.03, respectively in the frequency range of 1~10 MHz. The dielectric loss of Y-substituted derivative was the lowest one and changed a little to frequency. Curie points were observed in all the derivatives like BIT to suggest that they would be ferroelectric. The temperature stability of the delectric properties of the derivatives below the Curie points were relatively better than the one of BIT.

We studied effects by Re$_2$O$_3$(R=Dy, Gd, Ho) addition on the properties of Mn-Zn ferrite. The doping concentration range from 0.05 wt% to 0.25 wt%. All samples were prepared by standard fabrication of ceramics. With increasing the rare earth oxides, specific density and initial permeability increased on the whole. But, the tendencies such as upper result had the measured value on limitation and characteristics saturated or decreased properties after that. In case of excessive addition of additive beyond some level, initial permeability properties of ferrite have gone down in spite of anomalous grain. With increasing the content of additive, both the real and imaginary component of complex permeability and the magnetic loss (tan$\delta$) increased. Because the increased rate of real component had higher than imaginary component, magnetic loss increased none the less for increasing the real component related with magnetic permeability. But, the magnetic loss of ferrite doped with the rare earth oxides was lower than that of Mn-Zn ferrite at any rate. The small amount of present rare earth oxides in Mn-Zn ferrite composition led to enhancement of resistivity in bulk, and more so in the grain boundary. It was seem to be due to the formation of mutual reaction such as between iron ions and rare earth element ions.

Rare earth (RE) - transition metal based high energy density magnets are of immense significance in various engineering applications. $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ magnets possess the highest energy product and are widely used in whole industries. Simultaneously, composite alloys that are cheap, cost effective and strong commercially available have drawn great attention, because rare-earth metals are costly, less abundant and strategic shortage. We designed rare-earth free alloys and fabrication process and developed novel route to prepare $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ powders by wet process employing spray drying and reduction-diffusion (R-D) without the use of high purity metals as raw material. MnAl-base permanent magnetic powders are potentially important material for rare-earth free magnets. We have prepared the nano-sized MnAl powders by plasma arc discharge and micron-sized MnAl powders by gas atomization. They showed good magnetic property, compared with that from conventional processes. $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ powders with high coercivity of more than 10 kOe were successfully synthesized by adjusting R-D step, followed by precise washing system. It is considered that this process can be applied for the recycling of RE-elements extracted from ewaste including motors.

폐니켈수소전지에 함유되어 있는 희토류를 회수하기 위하여 $H_2SO_4$로 침출한 용액에 10 M NaOH를 첨가하여 희토류를 pH 2.0 이하에서 약 98 % 침전시켰다. 이후 회수된 희토류 복합 침전물은 $800^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 동안 열처리를 통해 $HNO_3$에 대한 침출률을 증가시켰으며, 희토류 복합 침전물이 용해된 용액에 oxalic acid를 첨가하여 2차 침전을 실시하였다. 재침전된 희토류는 다시 $800^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 열처리를 통해 산화물 형태로 변환되었으며, 이때 희토류 산화물의 순도는 약 99.5 %를 나타내었다.

Demand for high fuel efficiency and smart features of the vehicles, research has been intensified. Hence, research and development on electric power steering (EPS) system to replace the existing hydraulic steering system has been actively conducted. Permanent magnet motors are widely used in automotive applications due to their high power density and high efficiency. However, increasing price and limited production of rare-earth permanent magnets has recently prompted the auto parts makers to substitute permanent magnet motors by non- or less rare earth magnet motors. Switched reluctance motors SRMs), known as typical non-rare earth motors have simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and high reliability. This paper discusses design, modeling, simulation, and experimental verification of a prototype SRM drive for electric power steering system.

자성 재료는 전기적 에너지와 기계적 에너지간 상호 전환 가능한 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 발전 및 모터 분야 등에 널리 적용되고 있다. 그 중에서도 모터 분야의 효율성 향상을 위해서 외부의 자장 없이도 지속적으로 자성 특성을 나타내는 영구 자석은 그 활용도가 매우 높다. 특히, 영구 자석은 최대 자기적이 높은 희토류 자석이 개발된 후 이를 중심으로 개발 및 응용분야가 지속적으로 확대되었다. 그러나, 최근 모터의 용도가 확대되는 추이에 따라서 회토류 자석의 사용이 증대됨에 따라서 희토류 원자재 수급 문제에 봉착하여 이를 해결하기 위해 희토류 저감 및 대체 자석에 대한 연구 분야가 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 본 보고서에서는 현재 사용 되고 있는 영구 자석에 대해 설명하고 이를 대체할 수 있는 기술 중 가능성이 높은 방법으로써 exchange-coupling 현상을 이용한 영구 자석 개발 기술에 대해 기술하고자 한다.

A systematic study of Knoevenagel reaction and Nazarov cyclization was made on variety of less reactive carbonyl compounds such as ${\beta}$-ketoesters, 1,3-diketones and cyclic active methylene compounds using $Yb(OTf)_3$ as the catalyst. Recycling study confirms reusability of the catalyst without much loss of activity.
